Biography:
Lyle Lovett is an americana singer-songwriter and actor from Klein, Texas, who has been described as "the thinking man's cowboy".

STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE
Capo 3rd fret
VERSE 1
C
That picture hangin' on the wall
F C/E C
Was painted by a friend
C Em
He gave it to me all down and out
F C/E G
When he owed me ten
C
It doesn't look like much I guess
F C/E C
But it's all that's left of him
C Em
And it sure is nice from right over here
F C/E G
When the light's a little dim
CHORUS
F
Step inside this house girl
F C/E C
I'll sing for you a song
C Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F C/E G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F C/E C
My treasures you might say
C Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F C/E G
They brighten up my day
VERSE 2
C
This book of poems was given me
F C/E C
By a girl I used to know
C Em
I guess I read it front to back
F C/E G
Fifty times or so
C
It's all about the good life
F C/E C
And stayin' at ease with the world
C Em
It's funny how I love that book
F C/E G
And I never loved that girl
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3
C
Now you hold this piece of glass
F C/E C
Up to the light that's shinin' through the door
C Em
It's a prism glass I found it on the road
F C/E G
Can't you see that tiny rainbow
C
It's not really a prism I guess
F C/E C
Its just kind of broke a funny way
C Em
I was on my way through Houston
F C/E G
And I was headed for L.A.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 4
C
This guitar was given me
F C/E C
By old man Thomas Gray
C Em
It's not too much to look at
F C/E G
But I play it every day
C
It's been across this country
F C/E C
Four or five times I guess
C Em
Between me and old man Tom
F C/E G
It never got much rest
(CHORUS)
VERSE 5
C
Well that's just about all I own
F C/E C
All I care to I guess
C Em
Except this pair of boots maybe
F C/E G
And that funny yellow vest
C
And that leather jacket and that leather bag
F C/E C
And that hat hangin' on the wall
C Em
Just so it's not too much to carry babe
F C/E G
Could I see you again next Fall
(CHORUS)
